--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : dpkg
Product     : Fedora EPEL 6
Version     : 1.16.16
Release     : 5.el6
URL         : https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dpkg
Summary     : Package maintenance system for Debian Linux
Description :
This package contains the tools (including dpkg-source) required
to unpack, build and upload Debian source packages.

This package also contains the programs dpkg which used to handle the
installation and removal of packages on a Debian system.

This package also contains dselect, an interface for managing the
installation and removal of packages on the system.

dpkg and dselect will certainly be non-functional on a rpm-based system
because packages dependencies will likely be unmet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Fix build for all versions, previous try wasn't correct and back with dpkg-perl-libexecdir.patch
Security update to 1.16.16
